First step; Many Gems are gonna infiltrate, pretending to be part of their empire–

How will they get it?

They'll persuade them to let them join voluntarily.

I see, please continue.

Second step; after gaining everyone's trust, they'll be free to wander Homeworld and get a lay of the land, gathering information to create a map showing the places where our friends are always–

What if our friends are not always in the same place?

Then we'll ask them to show us the places they usually frequent! And don't interrupt me again please!

Sorry! Sorry!

Third step; the super-little Gems will hide in the hair of the big ones. Once inside, they'll discreetly sabotage the weapons, get and send us the scanners we need to fix the rest of the Gems, and that's it. We'll do this little by little so as not to raise suspicions, until we reach the leaders.

I understand you perfectly, but... what about us? What will we do?

For now, our only role will be to wait.

Wait? The what?

We'll wait for the information and other necessary things to be sent to us, then we will join too.

How? By now, everyone on Homeworld must already know my face!

You're right... But none of them know Stevonnie's face!

Oh, I get it. By the way, how long will all this take?

Well, a month, maybe two or maybe more, I don't know. Why do you ask?

It's just... I wanna use as much time as I can to go back to therapy.

Really? Why?

I haven't been feeling very good lately.

I see. Take all the time you need, Steven *pecks Steven on his cheek* And remember I'll be there with you.

*blushes* Thank you very much.

(A few days later. Somewhere in Homeworld, the four Gems responsible for everything are gathered in a dimly lit room talking about the current situation.)

Hey, did you hear about all the hustle and bustle in the universe lately?

Yeah.

Several Gems from other planets have started to flee to earth.

What is it due to?

Do you think it's about Steven?

Obviously yes.

I wonder what he plans to do.

That doesn't matter, there's not much Steven can do against me, you guys know why!

We know, but... I think we should be prepared for whatever.

Steven is probably wanting to form his own army.

Knowing his stupid pacifist attitude, I don't think he's capable of declaring war on us.

However, even when he was alone, he had enough courage to attack us a few days ago.

Wouldn't it be feasible for us to attack the earth right now?

That's right... But I have other plans for the earth. Since it is Steven's most precious place, I am going to destroy him along with it after making him suffer more.

Fair enough.

No matter what Steven does, he'll never be a threat. So for now let's focus on rejuvenating more gems to expand our army and empire and thus we will have even more advantage over him.

In fact, aside from the Gems who have fled to earth, there have also been several Gems who have voluntarily joined us.

Great! It was very obvious that there were many more hidden Gems throughout the universe who are disgusted with this shitty era just like us.

You got a point there.

But that hadn't happened before, had it? Don't you think that's, uh, suspicious?

Nah! It was only a matter of time and motivation for all those Gems to stop being afraid of Steven and emerge from the shadows to rebel against him.

I understand, then they are welcome.
